SECOND VERSE
I watched me push you down in
Dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days I would run around
Thing that you'd be alright

And though you were right 'bbout the things I'd say
Cause if I had it back again I know I would
You know I'd treat you kind

Everybody got to have someone
